Our mission is to
bring students and alumnae of Sanchaung (2), or Sangyong (2) as it is
spelled now, together through joint planning of and participation of
both students and
alumnae in school or alumnae activities while developing school pride.
We
will also try to improve the quality of education at Sanchaung (2) in
every possible area
with the support of our teachers at school and the international
alumnae.

Who we are

Sanchaung (2), also known as St. Philomena's Convent High School, is
one of the best high schools in Myanmar(Burma). There are currently
about 150 full-time teachers and 4,500 students (as of June 2003). The
school is located at 291, Pyi Road in Sangyoung Township in Yangon, and
about 13 acres in size. Many of our graduates go to
Institutute of Medicine (1) and (2) in Yangon, Yangon Institute of
Technology,
or four-year univeristies and other technical institutes all over
Burma. Some of us are abroad pursuing
higher education at both undergraduate and graduate levels in various
countries. Of course, many of us have also placed our feet firmly in
the
workplace or have become great housewives. But we will always have one
thing in common; we are
the alumnae of Sanchaung (2).

What we do now

This website aims to bring our alumnae together to rejoice in
the old memories, open the
door to the international alumnae community, and pave ways to future
career
goals or new friendships. Here, on this website, find out what's going
on
with old friends, make new friends, share your success stories, seek
advice
regarding your career, ask us how to get into foreign universities,
take free online classes from St. Philomena Institute of Learning and
Teaching, or
help others by volunteering with us.

We invite you to join the network if you went to Sanchaung (2) and
haven't done so yet. If you also have poems or beautiful pictures that
capture our school or better yet our school spirit, send them to us as
jpg files. [Poems in English need not be in .jpg format.] If we like
it, we will post them up on the web so that all of us can share your
memories
of the good old days at Sanchaung (2). Please check out the links below
to see what is happening.
